About this board game
Survival of the Fattest is a visually stunning family-weight board game for 1–4 players, with a play time of 90 minutes. Take the role of a woodland critter and compete to gather food, prepare recipes, and earn the most victory points.
Each critter brings unique tricks and abilities to the woodland. Use action selection and hand management to forage for food while making the most of the opportunities available during the season.
Gathered food is more than a resource to save. Spend it to complete delicious recipes from the Market, gaining in-game bonuses as well as victory points for the end of the game. Choosing when to collect food and when to turn it into recipes is central to your woodland strategy.
- Play as a woodland critter with unique abilities.
- Forage for food using action selection.
- Manage your hand and spend food on Market recipes.
- Earn in-game bonuses and end-game victory points.
- Compete across three seasons.
The woodland is bountiful, but every critter is working toward the same goal: building up enough food and points to thrive. You must also feed your critter, so successful planning means balancing immediate needs with the recipes that can strengthen your final score.
After three seasons, the critter that has been fed and accumulated the most victory points is declared the winner. With its approachable family-weight design, distinctive critter abilities, and charming food-focused setting, Survival of the Fattest offers a lively contest of foraging, hand management, and recipe completion.
